Zeptari,

 

What a good deal.

What store was it?

Was it the Video Game Exchange in Plastow. NH

or is it a store that I am unaware of.

[Zeptari]

And give away my secret location!!

 

Anyways it's Video Game Castle in Chicopee,Ma

He has tons of games for ALL game Systems..

Not as many Coleco and Atari stuff as I'd like. Lot's of Genesis stuff, that's great!

I recently picked up a complete copy of 'War Room' for Colecovision by Probe 2000(the same company that made Odyssey 2 games),and I don't even have a colecovision yet!That is how rare the game is--Great find(s) for you..

The Spider-Man manual is enlivened by the graphics of Spidey and the Green Goblin accompanied by speech balloons. Over the years this (admittedly corny) feature has been responsible for the lion's share of my nostalgia for this game, even though there are only three of these graphics in the entire manual.

Now that i've had some time to think about it. I'm really suprised that their wasn't any Activision instuctions in that grab bag i got. Are Activision game manuals rare or something? I really like the 2 activision game manuals i already have kaboom and skiing. i think it's neat the way they put a picture and a bio of the programmer in it.

Are all of activisions manuals like that?

 

Ohh see the market place here too. I have a few common duplicate manuals for trade if anyones interested.

No, manuals for the common Activision games (Kaboom!, Pitfall!, Laser Blast, Freeway, etc.) are pretty common. Activision manuals in general are relatively easy to come by, I think I have manuals for most of the Activision games.

Had a major hit last night at my local game store right here in Mass! Paid only $5 for over 70 manuals for the 2600 and Colecovision!

Most are in great shape. Some of the few I think are rare or just really cool looking:

 

2600

Xonox catalog for the double enders.

Buck Roger's - Planet of Zoom

Revenge of the Beefsteak Tomatoes

Atari 2600jr owners manual

Journey

Tac Scan

Spderman

both Fireworld and Earthworld

 

and for the Colecovision...

 

Super Cross Fire

BC's Quest for Tire's

War Room +Data Card <<-- I never heard of this one??? made by Probe 2000.

2 Donkey Kong a one red and one blue?? Why?

 

and a bunch more...

 

most of the game instructions i picked up I don't even own yet!

I have the 2600 Rampage manual. There is no mention of the programmer in it. All it says is "RAMPAGE was programmed for the Atari 2600 by Bobco." The copyright date is 1989.

Bobco was a company created by Bob Polaro, who did the programming on Rampage for the 2600.

I have an Activision Robot Tank manual which is all-black text on an all-white background—no images whatsoever (unless you count the Activision logo). There is no programmer information in this manual, which differs in other ways from the HTML Robot Tank manual on AtariAge. My manual also lacks patch information, instead presenting information about NORAD. The introduction to the manual is also slightly different.

I found three boxed video games complete with instructions at a yard sale a couple weeks back.

 

Solar Storm

Laser Gates

Star Voyager

 

All Imagic games

All in the box

All with instructions

and all at the same yard sale for $1.50

Zeptari,

 

Thanks

 

for letting me know your "secret location" I'll have to take a trek out there some saturday and check it out.

Game Castle had a boxed Imagic game. Can't remember which one. Didn't pick it up, the box was badly damaged. No bottom flap or instructions inside.
